Sticking with Twitter for BlackBerry... And I still don't get the raccoon icon

How come UberTwitter is the only client giving us a full range of Time Line refresh options?
Apps that give me 5 minutes as the least amount of time between updates are apps that don't get installed on my phone.
Yes... I understand the battery implications... but the option to CHOOSE whether or not I decimate my battery should be there...

I love Seesmic; it's my preferred Twittper app. The only things I missed on it were the multiple accounts feature and Trending Topics. I wonder if TT's are now supported?
Saiyaman156 Feb 26, 2010 at 4:04 pm
Finally, some ping.fm support. I may still use the standard email for sending pings, but now if I am looking at tweets, I can send stuff to ping.fm without switching apps.
I will say that I like UberTwitter's interface better.
zman3001 Feb 26, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Too bad the ping.fm support doesn't work. It will not let you add an account, keeps saying invalid account no matter what. Fail.

I'd love to try this; I installed it, but every time I open it, the app prompts me to view and save permissions changes. I do, and it closes out. I reset my phone but still no joy. *Uninstall*
dannyboy2.0 Feb 26, 2010 at 5:03 pm
I have tried installing several times but still pet permission change request when I launch, I save the permissions and app closes, never tries to run! Oh well, not like I have a limited choice of Twitter apps...
julioangelortiz Feb 26, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Glad to hear I'm not the only one (though it still sucks). What device are you running? I'm on a Bold 9700 running 5.0.0.442 / .484 hybrid.
scuebydue Feb 26, 2010 at 5:55 pm
I'm on a tour with 5.0.0.419. Having application setting issue too
ronin59 Feb 26, 2010 at 5:57 pm
How bad, tried severals ways with my Bold 9700 os 5.0.0.331 but cant geht the permission problem solved - uninstalled again and using SocialScope.81 and Uberwiter.964 for now ;-(
andy957 Feb 26, 2010 at 6:04 pm
What is the new version number?
suicidepact Feb 26, 2010 at 9:39 pm
Seesmic for BB version 1.3.26 (new version) on a Storm 9530 software 5.0.0.328 (no mods or hybrids) and I'm getting the same permissions requests and restart problem everytime I start Seesmic. The app never gets past the permissions page. Previously the app was running fine on the older version and I really liked it. I did email support from the download page via BB browser. I seem to remember an issue like this happening for a bunch of users (me included) for QuickLaunch after an update (I think it was QL, not sure, tho.) I do remember that the only thing that fixed it was to download an even newer version. How many others have this problem?

this is a very intertesting contest and being a user of the 8330 myself, appreciate all u do for blacberry users keep up the good work

markkelley Feb 27, 2010 at 12:03 am
same problem with permissions on my Storm2!
CrackFachry Feb 27, 2010 at 2:20 am
I've installed the latest version (v.1.3.26) on my Bold 9000 OS 5.0.0.464 but haven't seen any notification icons on my replies.. I think it's a bug since their website mentioned that there're notification upon replies and DMs..
It's too bad, since I kinda like the apps. I think It's fast (faster than Uber) although doesn't have enough features (autocomplete username, tabs for Rep and DM).. But I like the clean look and it seems to be memory friendly too..
If they've sort the notification issue, I think I'll be using this app but for now.. I'm going back to Socialscope :)

Really pleased that I'm not the only one with this issue on my Bold 9700. Not a very good advert for the application. Has it not been tested before release!! Uninstalled.
suicidepact Feb 27, 2010 at 7:47 am
This is really new to just this updated version. I've installed updates before (I think) to Seesmic and not had a problem. I kknow other people have their own opinions, but I like using Seesmic on my BB Storm, I'll wait to see what the problem is, or try to find an earlier version # of the software. To me Seesmic was the best of the Twitter clients I tried. I wasn't lucky enough to get to try Blackberry's Twitter app that they're only allowing a small amount of people to beta test, which doesn't seem to make sense because it's only a Twitter app, but whatever.
imdakine1 Feb 27, 2010 at 6:45 pm
I've learned my lesson to not update unless I know I am also near a computer have access to the BB Tour connector for the computer... My BB Tour has crashed to much with some software or when running low on memory! I've tried a few Twitter Clients that got rave reviews, some didn't even ever work on my Tour... It could have been an issue with low memory etc... However this client is awesome... I will not upload until I begin hearing more reviews about it both working and having added features that make it worth while... Also be near my computer and connector wire...
suicidepact Feb 27, 2010 at 9:02 pm
For those who are having problems with the new version like me, BB App World still hasn't updated to the new version (they have 1.2.19), so you can install to the 1.2 version and use it until this permissions issue has been fixed. BTW, this was true as of about 6 pm West Coast US time on 27th of February. Hope this issue gets sorted, still haven't heard back from tech support, not even a form acknowledgment or anything. Guess I'll be using the old version for now. If this issue still isn't sorted I guess eventually RIM might eventually let the great unwashed also try their Twitter app... (hint, hint!)
Diggs31 Feb 28, 2010 at 1:07 am
My major gripe with Seesmic is that it makes me log in every single time after a reboot or something. Uber at least keeps that info you know...its ease of use I'm after.

Hi, thanks for all the feedback - our team was reviewing the issue and had reviewed it against twitter's recently reported issue here: http://status.twitter.com/post/419501875/reports-of-missing-tweets - We made some updates to address some of the weekend's issue and will have an update shortly - I appreciate all your patience and support - Thanks
_dave_ Mar 2, 2010 at 1:54 am
Bold 9000 5.0.464 OS - can't install -907 Invalid COD error. Hope the update fixes this issue as well.
Also have a message stating data on this device is incompatible with the software. Some apps may not work after install. Error uses words to that effect.
Thanks,
Dave.

nice!

I don't post much, even though I've been a Crackberry user for years. But I had to post and share how happy I've been with Seesmic so far. I've been using SocialScope for a long time and would always go back to SC after using other Twitter apps, like UberTwitter. I Liked all the features of UT, however, I follow my Berry's memory closely and it was a huge leak on my device(Bold 9700). And it wasn't as snappy as I would have liked. I've been wanting to find an app I could use multiple accounts with; and had a clean, fast user interface like SC. I haven't had an update from SC forever. I'm tired of using 2 Twitter apps for different accounts so I've been on the look-out for an app I would be happy with....and I have found it!
I had no issues installing or with permissions (maybe they fixed that). The interface is very clean, it's simple to use and easy to post tweets from different accounts. I can view all my lists, make favorites, search...and it is very snappy!
It may not do everything some of the other Twitter apps out there do; But what it does, it does well. Memory is holding strong too.

Great tips and very easy to understand. This will definitely be very useful for me when I get a chance to start my blog.
